Thank you so much, here in Brazil Craft Stores do not allow use their die cutters at the back of the store. You are very creative.
I'm sure that several craft junkies already know this BUT...
I go to scrapbook stores like Archivers and get their free cardstock and then stick around to use their die cutters at the back of the store. Most scrapbooking stores will allow you to use their die cut machines for FREE if you buy some of their paper. (Be sneaky though and bring your stash with you and only buy a little then you can get more done AND you get access to some really cool shapes for little cost.)
Also, I've found that the really sturdy paper punches will go through the side of an aluminum can. I've done this for several projects, including gift tags. The punched can shapes look good plain OR you can use a Tim Holtz product called Alcohol Ink to add colors to the silver side.

Lovely! are your pictures cut out from magazines? what about your beautiful font? Is that hand done? So attractive, and unique!

The pictures are from reprints of vintage postcards and photographs. The font is computer generated.

what are you supposed to do with these? i mean, they're cool but what are they useful for? are they some kind of gift tags? like " from: me to: you" ???

Gift tags are generally attached to a gift. The giver usually writes the name of the recipient and a personal message. They are often used instead of a card.

I have made tags for years out of whatever I had around the house but I never thought to decorate them. These tags look great and I intend to use your idea. Thanks.
